Action Comics #850 - DC

This is an interesting book. It's actually more of a Legion book, than a Superman book. Which is kind of ironic since Action Comics is where they started. Or was it Adventure Comics? Well anyways, basically, Brainiac is trying to figure out a way to get Kara home. Since she's stuck in their time. Apparently this story takes place before he invented their time bubbles. And, before they started going back in time to visit Clark when he was a teenager. And actually, I guess, before he came to their time to become a Legionnaire. Kind of a conundrum there. So anyways, Brainiac has developed a device, but right now it only lets you look back on a particular persons timeline. So they want to look back on Kara's, but Kara wants to look back on Superman's. He's been way overprotective, since her arrival, and she takes it more as an authority role, rather than a loving family role. So she wants to see if she's missing something. She wants to believe in her cousin, but the evidence so far, has shown her otherwise. And this actually could tie in to the whole multiverse thing, because, think about it . . . how many different versions of Supergirl have there been over the years? 4 or 5 that I can think of. Anyways, she watches the past and begins to have a better understanding of her cousins motivations and meanings. She realizes that he truly does love her, and is only trying to do what's best for her. And one of the final visions is of her, and Clark, finding Argo City and her parents. I think. But since that's in our future, now, we'll have to wait to see just how that plays out. Anyways, fantastic story. But with Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns and Fabian Nicieza writing it . . . what else would you expect. The artwork, by Renato Guedes, was actually pretty good. When he did OMAC, I have to say I wasn't a big fan. But maybe it was the characters he was working with. On this book, I have to admit, I thought he actually did a bang up job. And by the way . . . #850? Wow!!! What an accomplishment. Hats off to Supes for having such an illustrious career. This is someone who has truly stood the tests of time.
